| The British Columbia wolf was classified as a subspecies of Canis lupus columbianus in 1941 by senior biologist Edward Goldman. It was once found in most of British Columbia, parts of the Yukon, Alberta and southwest Alaska. It has crossed territories with the Alexander Archipelago Wolf and the Cascade Mountain Wolf. Canis lupus columbianus was one of the largest subspecies of gray wolf in North America. They weighed between 36 and 68 kg, and had long hair that was generally black, often mixed with gray or brown. They measured around 1.52 to 1.78 m in length. It bore similarities to the Alaskan wolf and the Mackenzie Valley wolf, although its size was usually smaller than both. The British Columbia wolf fed on hares, birds, deer and other ungulates. Hunted to extinction. |
